The number of survivors in the old nest will no longer increase.
All the newly captured coolies were thrown onto the top of the garbage mountain, without exception, regardless of gender, age or status.
Shi Yuebai was also constantly expanding her protective formation.
As time passed, she drew the protective array faster and faster.
Before anyone noticed, Shi Yuebai had already pulled her protective formation to the foot of the garbage mountain.
The inner part of the garbage mountain is at a vertical angle.
This is also to prevent external survivors from climbing up the garbage mountain, avoiding the exposed steel bars, and entering the nest directly from the top of the garbage mountain.
Although there is now a vast ocean outside the garbage mountain, the melted snow has flooded a large area of land.
The survivors are all on another high ground.
Unless there is a very strong survivor who can sail across the ocean to the garbage mountain.
But it cannot be ruled out that there really is such a force in this wasteland that can do such a thing.
By then, even if those powerful survivors climbed to the top of the garbage mountain, if they wanted to enter the nest.
You also have to find a way to jump down from the cliff.
If the coolies originally in the old nest want to go out of the third wall, they need to report to the upper level of the old nest and apply for permission before they can go out.
But since Shi Yuebai's protective formation was expanded, the laborers could enter and exit the third wall freely.
Especially after the construction of turrets and watchtowers began.
Many survivors followed the little mute's footsteps and applied to live outside the third wall.
Every coolie who lived outside the third wall was given a small yard.
They can plant osmanthus trees or Panax notoginseng in this small courtyard of several hundred square meters.
This is certainly much better than everyone being crowded into the open space between the second and third walls.
After all, most of the circular open space between the second and third walls is used to grow vegetables and rice.
In fact, there is very little land available for the coolies to use.
If people want to earn some extra red flags through osmanthus trees and Panax notoginseng, they need a large area.
If they can live outside the third wall, they can realize their dream of getting rich.
The most crucial issue is that living outside the third wall not only increases the area for free planting.
The harsh environmental crisis caused by the melting snow in the potholes no longer exists.
After all, people have planted many osmanthus trees and Panax notoginseng, and they need a lot of melted snow water.
This also saves them a lot of time in fetching water.
When they lived inside the third wall, they had to find a way to get outside the third wall.
Use a bucket to carry the melted snow water from the potholes outside back to your tent.
Watering the osmanthus trees and Panax notoginseng that I planted.
Now everything is fine, as long as there are cracks in the garbage mountain, melted snow water can flow down continuously.
The melted snow can flow into the potholes along the gullies on the ground.
The coolies living outside can even plant their own osmanthus trees and Panax notoginseng near the potholes.
Every day they collect melted snow nearby and use it to water their osmanthus trees and Panax notoginseng.
The coolies had no reason at all to refuse to live outside the third wall.
In just a few days, the production of osmanthus and Panax notoginseng powder increased several times.
Of course, Black Monkey and Gong Chen on the front line also put in their best efforts and led the team to search for daily necessities.
Both of their teams have a little bit of combat attributes.
So they were able to follow closely behind the mercenary group and go deep into the danger zone.
Especially everyone in their team, they can always put a handful of osmanthus flowers in their pocket every time they go out.
Their sense of smell will no longer be affected by the stench of melted snow.
Especially after they used osmanthus for a long time, there was no phenomenon that their bodies became increasingly unable to integrate with the current wasteland.
On the contrary, the long-term use of osmanthus made their minds more and more clear.
Many people also gradually felt that their stagnant brains were relieved because of the fragrant air around them.
The slow rotation began again.
Black Monkey and Gong Chen sometimes meet in the danger zone.
Because of the business between Yichen and Shi Yuebai, the tense atmosphere between the two teams gradually eased.
Sometimes, Black Monkey and Gong Chen can even communicate with each other about their long-term experience in using osmanthus.
"Have you discovered that the fragrance of this osmanthus can prevent the survivors' intelligence from declining?"
Black Monkey asked Gong Chen.
He wasn't actually sure, but there were already several such survivors in his team.
Even his own brain, which had been becoming increasingly dull, now thought much faster and reacted much more agilely.
Gong Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"It just makes my thinking and reaction time faster, but it doesn't really help improve my intelligence."
If we insist on saying that the osmanthus flowers that Shi Yuebai sold them have any other effects, that would be far-fetched.
At most, it can isolate the survivors from smelling the smell of melted snow, thus preventing the survivors' brains from being harmed by this stench.
In this way, over time, the survivors' thinking will naturally become much clearer.
This means that when the overall intelligence level declines, the intelligence of those survivors who wore the osmanthus amulet remains stable.
The fact that their intelligence did not continue to decline is equivalent to their intelligence improving.
"You can think of this as slightly preventing the survivors' intellectual decline," Gong Chen continued.
The black monkey nodded happily.
In the wasteland, it would be great if there was something that could slightly prevent humanity's intellectual regression.
He still remembered that a very smart scientist had predicted the end-of-the-world disaster.
After this apocalyptic disaster, mankind will enter the wasteland century.
According to scientific research at the time, the intelligence of the survivors would decline further and further.
This is the true beginning of humanity's extinction.
The problems that arose in the early stages were not problems at all and would not lead to the extinction of the race.
Once the overall intelligence level declines significantly, no one will be able to solve the problems of the wasteland.
So when the black monkey realized this.
His eyes were shining.
Gong Chen, who was standing by, saw it and nodded.
"I decided to buy more osmanthus flowers. Shi Yuebai's supply of osmanthus flowers will be out of stock."
Gong Chen was worried.
Of course, they can also dig up a lot of expired food, but more often they dig up a variety of intact daily necessities.
Since we know that osmanthus can prevent intellectual decline, of course, we need to stock up on it in case of any unexpected events.
